That's right. The point I was making is that the range between city and highway as measured by CR was much greater on the AT than the MT - I think you'd have to find the original article to get those #'s.

The 'overall' number is dependant on the mix of conditions the test was conducted in, and if the best/worst condition numbers are far apart )as they are on the AT), it is harder to predict how you would do with the car.

The gas milage poll numbers reflect this - the bell of the milage curve is considerably flatter for the AT than the MT.
